 There’s everything, but there’s no rock.

 It doesn’t seem like a concert is about to start but rather a carnival party; it doesn’t feel like waiting for a musical performance but rather an entrance to the fairground.

 Coyne’s voice, which isn’t very powerful to begin with, gets lost in a sea of noise and distortions.
